It originates from very ancient soils, millions of years
old. The soil contributes to make intense, austere,
refined and elegant wines, able to age and improve with
time.
Vinification: Grapes were destemmed and softly pressed. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperatures for 30 days. Wine aged in steel tanks for 10 months and another 2 months in bottle.
Tasting Notes: Intense straw yellow color, Ostinatamente (Italian word for stubbornly)
has a slight amber glow that catch the sunlight
brilliantly. It’s a Roero Arneis that necessarily does not
need to be drunk while still young. Give it time. The
nose is eager, but graceful, with hints of flowers and
fruit-reminiscent of a summer’s walk on a country
road. The crisp flavors of fresh herbs with subtle hints
of flowery fruit is most refreshing. Despite its delicate
nature, it is full bodied with a notable persistence and a
soft finish.
This ‘little rascal’ goes nicely with a light antipasti, fish,
as the label hints, simply prepared and Crustaceans, as
well as regional asparagus dishes from Alba and
medium and well seasoned cheese.
